A method includes receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, targeting a second subframe in which a transmission power control (TPC) command is to be applied. The method may also include adjusting transmit power in accordance with the TPC command during a third subframe, a predefined number of subframes after the first subframe. Another method includes receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe. The cross-subframe assignment targets a second subframe in which a first TPC command is to be applied. The method may also include receiving a nominal grant in the first subframe that targets an identified subframe to which a second TPC command is to be applied. The method may also include adjusting the transmit power according to the first TPC command, the second TPC command or a function of the first TPC command and the second TPC command during the second subframe or the identified subframe.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for communicating in a wireless network, comprising: receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment targeting a second subframe and including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; and adjusting transmit power in accordance with the TPC command during a third subframe a predefined number of subframes after the first subframe, the third subframe being different than the second subframe.
2. The method of claim 1 , in which the third subframe coincides with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) interlace associated with the first subframe.
3. The method of claim 1 , in which the third subframe occurs a predefined number of subframes after the second subframe.
4. A method for communicating in a wireless network, comprising: receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment comprising a grant for decoding a second subframe including a first transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; receiving a nominal grant in the first subframe, the nominal grant targeting an identified subframe to which a second TPC command is to be applied, the identified subframe differing from the first subframe; and adjusting the transmit power according to one of the first TPC command, the second TPC command and a function of the first TPC command and the second TPC command during one of the second subframe and the identified subframe.
5. The method of claim 4 , in which the identified subframe comprises the second subframe.
6. The method of claim 4 , in which the identified subframe comprises a third subframe, different from the second subframe, and in which the third subframe coincides with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) interlace targeted by one of the first TPC command and the second TPC command.
7. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: means for receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment targeting a second subframe and including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; and means for adjusting transmit power in accordance with the TPC command during a third subframe a predefined number of subframes after the first subframe, the third subframe being different than the second subframe.
8. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: means for receiving a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment comprising a grant for decoding a second subframe including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; means for receiving a nominal grant in the first subframe, the nominal grant targeting an identified subframe to which a second TPC command is to be applied, the identified subframe differing from the first subframe; and means for adjusting the transmit power according to one of the first TPC command, the second TPC command and a function of the first TPC command and the second TPC command during one of the second subframe and the identified subframe.
9. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to: receive a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment targeting a second subframe and including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; and adjust transmit power in accordance with the TPC command during a third subframe a predefined number of subframes after the first subframe, the third subframe being different than the second subframe.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , in which the third subframe coincides with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) interlace associated with the first subframe.
11. The apparatus of claim 9 , in which the third subframe occurs a predefined number of subframes after the second subframe.
12. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising: a memory; and at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to: receive a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment comprising a grant for decoding a second subframe including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; receive a nominal grant in the first subframe, the nominal grant targeting an identified subframe to which a second TPC command is to be applied, the identified subframe differing from the first subframe; and adjust the transmit power according to one of the first TPC command, the second TPC command and a function of the first TPC command and the second TPC command during one of the second subframe and the identified subframe.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , in which the identified subframe comprises the second subframe.
14. The apparatus of claim 12 , in which the identified subframe comprises a third subframe, different from the second subframe, and in which the third subframe coincides with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) interlace targeted by one of the first TPC command and the second TPC command.
15. A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising: program code to receive a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment targeting a second subframe and including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; and program code to adjust transmit power in accordance with the TPC command during a third subframe a predefined number of subframes after the first subframe, the third subframe being different than the second subframe.
16. A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising: program code to receive a cross-subframe assignment in a first subframe, the cross-subframe assignment comprising a grant for decoding a second subframe including a transmission power control (TPC) command, the second subframe differing from the first subframe; program code to receive a nominal grant in the first subframe, the nominal grant targeting an identified subframe to which a second TPC command is to be applied, the identified subframe differing from the first subframe; and program code to adjust the transmit power according to one of the first TPC command, the second TPC command and a function of the first TPC command and the second TPC command during one of the second subframe and the identified subframe.
